Honor An.on; ryewspapcr Correspons.ents.

There IS much more honor now among
newspaper correspondents than there has been
in the past, and the most prominent cor
respondents Of the country have, weekly. in
trusted to them secrets which would have a
large money value as news but which thev,
in honor, 90 not use. They hea, daily ex-
preSsiOpS of opinions which would ruin men
who utter them if they were published but
are given in confidence and such confidence
is seldom violated. No one understands the
effect of a statement upon the character Of
the man interviewed better than the inter
viewer. and good correspondents often with
hold sentiments expressed for publication out
of regard for the future of the man inter-
viewed This however, is matter of mere
friendship.
If a person talks for publication, the cor
respondent has right to report him just as
he talks, whether the words he saws be his
political death warrant or the magic sesame
which OPENS the doors of the presidential
mansion. In reporting private conversation,
however, the correspondent has 10 right to
use matter which he does not know viii be &C

the correspondent is well known newspaper

request to the contrary.-Frank G. Carpen-

MODERN sHAMs IN SOCIETY.
The Many Deceptions and the False Gilt.
ter Which 1t Contains-UnreaI Virtues,

ter Which 1t COntains-Unreal Virtues.
Nothing is SO clearly apparent to the intel
| Hgent observer of modern society as tie many
receptions and the false glitter which it con-
! talns. There are social circles into which one
may euter where the false and deceptive find
/ no place, but these are in the minority
Glance at the average society of to-day, and
there L but little in it that is really what one
supposes it to be. How often is it that we
find men and women carrying impressions of
wealth and station far beyond their real in
Gomez Dignity is found to be only preten-
sion, refinement an artificial gloss, and intel
hgence but a verbal display White satin
dresses are worn where the plaincst muslin is
scarcely within the wearer's income; broad
cloth, where the simplest business suit, if
! honestly paid for, would almost be a draft
upon the revenue received. Flowers are
worn in profusion, jewelry loaned and car
riages hired by those to whom the acquire
ment of the necessities of daily life is a
struggle.
Society, instead Of being made great
compact designed to promote the good of
man and woman, is used only as cunning
continuance to palm off unreal virtues, and
give to the unsophisticate1 wrong and injuri-
Gus impressions. Host and hostess share in
the general deception with their guests, al
though neither is conscious of the others de-
ceit. The china on the table of the hostess is
admired and its possession envied by her
guest, while the former in return is driven
to mGddening inward jealousy at the gor-
geouS garments Of her guest. The guest
knows not that the china is loaned, the
hostess is ignorant of the unpaid bill of the
dressmaker. The furniture, heavy portieres
and expensive draperies are examined with
admiration, and 50 fixed becomes the atten-
ton of the guest upon the embellishments of
the home of her hostess that no room is left
in the mind for suspicion of plan of pur-
chase commonly known as the ''instalment"
The young man, with only a cursory
knowledge of the cost Of feminine apparel,
regards what is only inexpensive silk Or
satin as the richest goods the market affords.
The young lady, in turn, silently calculates
her chaperone's income by the flowers he
sends, the liveried carriage in which he es-
corts her to the reception, and the full dress
suit in which he is arrayed. Her unframed
mind knows not the existence OF places where
lunch may be had by modest indulgence
in beverage, and establishments where cloth
ing is sold for night.-Brookyn Magazine.

THE CRIMINALS OF SIBERIA.
Country Full of Tramps-Dangc~ous
TO TraveIers-Oflicials Not Attacked.

A Country Full of Tramps-Dangc-ous
TO Travelers-Onicials Not Attacked.
Siberia is best known to the rest of the
world as the land OF exiles. Since the time
OF Peter the Great it has been the place of
Punishment for those who offend against the
sovereign of Russia and his laws. Ordin-
arily from 10000 to l., 900 criminals are sent
there every year; the occasional reyolts in
Poland and the present spread Of Nihilism
through the empire add more or less largely
to the involuntary emigration. In some
years q, 900 or 80, 600 exiIes, including Grim
mails and politicals, have been sent to ST.
IBERIA, and Of this great number compare
lively few are ever returned to Europe. It
naturally follows that Siberia is filed with
an undue proportion of the criminal classes.
Many of the criminal exiles have been
sent there for small offenses, and are conse-
guently of the category Of simple detenus, or
detained in the country" They can do
pretty much as they like, as long as they do
not return to Europe; can wander from
place to place, and take any employment that
is open to them. The result is, the country is
full OF tramps, and on occasions when there is
a chance Of making an honest penny by high
way robbery the tramps are not slow to en-
brace it. IN the winter the weather is too
cold for their operations and they mostly
hibernate in the towns, like the tramps of en-
lightened America, SO that the roads are COM
paratively safe, but if you carry any bag
gage in the rear of your sleigh it must be
fastened with chains, and not with ropes
which can be cut away. In the spring the
tramp's fancy lightly turns to thoughts Of
rural strolling, and he continues to wander
till the snow falls again.
1t is in this period that he is dangerous to
the traveller, or, rather, 10 certain classes Of
travellers He does not attack government
